To finish off the inaugural year of academic awards given out by the Sooner Athletic Conference, the John Brown volleyball team picked up a share of the top team GPA, the conference offices announced this morning.

A familiar face will return to the John Brown University roster in the fall, but this time newly-graduated Courtney Marshall will be assisting head volleyball bench boss Ken Carver for the 2015 season, Carver announced this morning.

For the first time in Sooner Athletic Conference history, the league has announced a conference-wide Commissioner's Honor Roll, and John Brown University boasts the fourth-most total honorees with 77, league offices announced today (June 12).
